Rob Walton

Hunterdon County's Republican freeholder director is emerging as one of the state's leading voices for consolidation - and we're not just talking about joint salt purchases and shared road graders. Walton is willing to tackle the big-ticket items like police departments and entire towns. Mostly rural Hunterdon already boasts plenty of regionalization, but Walton, 41, wants to push it even further by creating a single countywide school district. It may earn him plenty of enemies, but he exhibits a boldness and confidence that may lead him up the ladder.
